I know I've seen this discussed a dozen times, but google is letting me down right now. Basically, I want to create a private branch of the ports tree for scripts and other stuff that isn't suitable to submit back to the main ports tree, and use portupgrade and other ports tools to maintain this across a bunch of systems that mount their ports tree via NFS. My thought is to make /usr/ports/private (or similar) and teach cvsup not to blow it away. Then I just need to make sure that portupgrade and other tools see it. Does anyone have a HOWTO or list of steps to get this going? I know this has been discussed before but I can't find any reference to it now. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
